Hi friends of Geekhack,this is will from hance industry. It's my first time to introduce myself in this place， my major job is auto design since 2013，participated in servel projects in SAIC，BMW，GM…About 5 years ago, i tried to make some keyboard models in my spare time, and cooperated with a keyboard design studio for servral years。In this journey, I usually have some personal views about design, products, services …So I decided to come to the stage from behind the scenes , so that i can do some works more independently.
[attachimg=2]
The first personal project is really important，so i spent a lot of time to do some sketches，design moodboards， quick 3d models and renderings，to help me confirm the ”Hance“ style.it will set the direction for us. I think Sela70 has reached the target.

From the top view,the top case is clean without any feature.We can see a implict “output mold” behind the keyborad.And I tried to design some different light shapes.
[attachimg=8]
From the side view and back view, we can see the keyboard is not combined by some “boxes”with parallel lines，i use some space even twist surface and curves with different angles all around for a satisfied proportion and stance，it‘s common in auto design but really difficult for CNC the metal，sela 70 will cost almost double time with a four-axis machine。

a wrist rest in the same design language
I will update more pictures and videos soon.
Nice to meet you and thank you for your watching，see you next time~
-
design wise from the pics avail at the time of this post, this does look interesting. do you have any top-down pictures of the PCB and plate design by themselves?
-
I'm a fan.
Will there be multiple light options, or have you settled on the two-light look?
-
More Info about mounting style in the post body would be nice, many people won’t look through the Imgur album. Cool looking board GLWIC
-
Very elegant design, something new. HOpe the ic goes well
-
very cool, very cool
-
I like what I’m seeing.

Good job!Looks amazing!

Are there any updates on this board? I see someone on Discord (not the OP) has posted a link to a build on YouTube:
-
I really like the look of this! Wish it was a 65% though.
-
definitely a fan of this!
-
I hope there's an international GB happening for this board. Someone on Discord was saying that a Chinese GB has already happened.

physical photos :)

We updated a lot of photos about sela70 in discord,More content we will update as soon as possible, if you are interested, please join our discord ;)

this is gorgeous :)

really something new :thumb:

After a while we finally got some results.We've added two new coating colors（Coating by MATRIX Lab）
-
Green Like Avocado & Linen :)

Of course this is only a part, we will also provide some anodic colors such as Dark blue/Pink/Deep purple, etc. are currently proofing ;D

cool design！

What's the typing sound like when you use the adjustable feet. I feel like the separation between table and keyboard could cause a problem?

There is almost no difference as there is also a layer of silicone padding under the feet that touches your table nicely
-
All colors have been updated, now sela is available in 8 colors (silver/black/grey/pink/dark purple/dark blue/linen/light green) :) :)

Looks really interesting, especially with the design but there are a couple things I would like to point out/ask. First, from a video of the board that I found, The usb cable stills shows a bit of the metal part when plugged in which to me looks worse than not being able to see it, it's not a huge issue but I would like to see this fixed especially for what I'm assuming to be a expensive price for this.
Two more things, one do you know what the general price bracket you think it will be in? and also are there any sound tests out of this board without foam, as I have a feeling the flex cuts in the PCB, combined with the thinner PCB will make it sound thinner than it could be?
Really like the unique design here, hope the board turns out good.
-
Is there an actual IC form that we can fill out to stay updated?
-
This, seriously.
Everyone wants everyone in separate discords. I'm almost at the point I need to make a dedicated keyboard discord account. I'm in 27 different discords, and if I weren't volunteering for many of them I'd have purged them awhile ago.
Mailing lists are really low maintenance, especially considering what effort has to go into managing a discord with any kind of efficiency.

This may depend on the USB cable, some may seem a bit longer than others.We will send samples to suppliers as soon as possible.If you choose the coating color of matrix lab, the price may be slightly higher,but not more than 400$

Looking forward to seeing some reviews of the board. Can you say which streamers / YouTubers it'll be sent to?
-
In the original renders in the first post it shows a option for full size RShift, is this no longer possible?
Only shows a split RShift in the layouts, and in the later photos.
Personally I'd love a full size as I think it looks cleaner and I don't need a extra FN key on a TKL, might just be me.

It's a beautiful board, but that plate is a big no for me. Here's hoping the sales go well. I really do love the design

What's the issue with the plate, if you don't mind me asking?

From what little is shown, it's severely skeletonized. That will kill it's resonance. Though, I do wonder if it might pull off a sort of "plateless" sound.
I just really prefer a solid plate and no flex cuts sort of build.

Ah, yes, it does look like it has maximal flexcuts. Hopefully they may offer the board with multiple plate materials. I like to use POM plates in many of my builds and I don't think it'd be possible to create a POM plate with that many flex cuts, without it being so cursed as to be unusable.

From what I understand, they put a pause on the GB so that they could re-work the plate. They got some feedback on the proto that was pretty damning especially in regards to the plate, but also concerning a few other things. The sentiment in the discord is that they want to correct at least the plate issue immediately. There were a few photos posted of new plate protos without all the flex cuts and they're doing some more testing.

We tested the new plate and taped pcb. it sounds and feel way better.Will restart soon
